Mitochondrial dynamics protein 49 kD (M:D49) and mitochondrial dynamics protein 51 kD (M:D51), which are located in the mitochondrial outer membranes, form division-inducing rings around mitochondria.

Mitochondria have a fundamental role in regulating metabolic pathways, and tight control of mitochondrial functions and dynamics is critical to maintaining adequate energy balance. In complex ...

BACKGROUND: Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is substantially influenced by genetic factors. Sarcomere function is intricately ...

The fusion of two or more mitochondria, and the fission of a mitochondrion into two units are common phenomena known as "mitochondrial dynamics" and both processes are necessary for the proper ...

Now, collaborative research co-led by Dr. Julie St-Pierre's lab at the Faculty of Medicine sheds new light on the mysteries of mitochondrial dynamics and its likely role in the metastatic progress ...

Researchers have revealed critical insights into how impaired mitochondrial dynamics and quality control mechanisms in skeletal muscle influence insulin sensitivity in patients with Type 2 ...
